Cybersecurity lab to promote security in the manufacturing industry

This study is concerned with the challenge presented to companies to select and implement suitable security concepts that provide an effective protection against cyber-attacks. For this purpose, a cybersecurity lab was built to demonstrate how attackers can infiltrate a production network and which damages they can cause. Based on these results, a security guideline was developed to provide help for the implementation of effective protection measures. The study provides theoretical knowledge about security concepts as well as best practices and use cases to address a broad audience of interested ICNAP community members by answering the research question "How can companies select and implement suitable cybersecurity technologies for their production?".
The following chapters are structed as follows: First, security measures are presented by introducing security concepts, security application areas, and the security framework introduced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Finally, a conclusion is given with a summary of the conducted study and a discussion of possible next steps.
